Cottages and game larder, still in use. The original cottage was built in the early 19th century (before 1806) as a single storey cottage. It was enlarged and later joined (before 1902) to the west by a further single-storey and attic cottage, that had been built in 1848-9. The game larder was added in the late 19th century. The principal cottage is a rectangular-plan, single storey, three-bay cottage that was later extended to the east to make a four-bay cottage with a T-plan addition to the rear. It is constructed from harled rubble with a partial rubble base course, four-pane glazing pattern in sash and case windows a grey slate roof with and clay ridge tiles, ashlar coped raised skews and gablehead stacks. A decorative, gabled, open timber porch was added to the door at centre of the original cottage in circa 1860. It contains a panelled door with a two-pane fanlight, and the porch has a four-centred opening to the front, four timber trunk-columns linked by cusp-headed timber railings, a horseshoe emblem in a boarded gablehead and swept eaves. There is a window in each remaining bay. One return gable is blank and the other has two narrow, widely spaced windows. The rear T-plan addition has a two-bay link block running north and two windows to the east divided by a staged chimneybreast and stack. The rear block has a similar stack at the centre to the north elevation, flanked each side by three windows, the centre one being a slit window, and there are windows on the gabled return elevations. There is a low, single storey link passage to the later cottage extending from the recessed centre of the west elevation. The west cottage is single storey with an attic breaking the eaves, and is three-bay with a lean-to at the rear, is constructed from harled stone and is linked to the original cottage. It has four-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in sash and case windows and a grey slate roof with clay ridge tiles, raised ashlar coped skews and gablehead stacks. The south elevation has a boarded door at the centre with a letterbox fanlight. A small window above breaks the eaves in a square-headed stone dormer, and the outer bays each have a window at the ground and gabled stone dormerheads to windows above with beak skewputts. The return elevations are blank. The rear elevation has a window to the centre and a later piend-roofed dormer above. There is a lean-to addition flanking to the east with a door. To rear of the principal cottage is a square-plan, slatted timber game larder on a concrete base, swept overhanging eaves to the grey slate piended roof, lead coping and a louvred timber ventilator at the apex with a pyramidal roof and ball finial. Two-leaf boarded doors are flanked by slit windows at the entrance elevation, and there are two tall, narrow, louvred windows to each remaining elevation. There is a service cottage to the north-west (NO28NE0005) and stables to the north-east (NO28NE0007).
